Hello RSDancey,

in BlueSpice 5 the User Manager is merged into the Permission Manager’s custom mode. According to its reference here, you can add the following line to your post-init-settings.php:

$GLOBALS['bsgOverridePermissionManagerAllowedPresets'] = [ 'public', 'protected', 'private', 'custom' ];

You can then find the custom mode on page Special:PermissionManager, creating/removing groups as you would like to.

Greetings,
Hua

This may be enabled in paid versions of BlueSpice but it is not in BlueSpice free
Also, if the UI has a button “Edit Groups” then that button should either work as expected or be removed

Dear Ryan,

the “Edit Groups” button is meant for batch editing assignment of groups for several users at one time:

In the context of the “User manager” page, I believe that this is a sense making name for such a button.

For the Permission Manager config I mentioned, I double checked with a fresh installation of the free edition of BlueSpice 5.1.4 and 5.1.3 (from GitHub - BlueSpice-Wiki/bluespice-free-release ), and confirmed that it does bring the “custom” preset (together with the group managing functions) to me. Please leave a message if the mentioned config does not work for you.

AH HA! Very interesting.
OK I can confirm that “Custom” is now appearing in the Permissions configurator. That’s good news.

I will explore Custom and see if I have any questions.
